This case report describes a case of Alagille syndrome with developing intraocular lens subluxation and rhegmatogenous retinal detachment 4 years after cataract surgery. A 15-year-old female patient with Alagille syndrome-associated cataracts in both eyes underwent phacoemulsification aspiration and intraocular lens implantation. Four years postoperative, intraocular lens subluxation developed ...

Objectives This study was designed to analyse the outcomes of secondary multifocal intraocular lens implantation in eyes with white cataracts. Methods White cataract patients undergoing secondary multifocal intraocular lens implantation between June 2014 and January 2015 were evaluated prospectively. As opposed to a conventional primary intraocular lens implantation for an optimal patient, th...

AIM To evaluate optimal standard intraocular lens power for Nepalese eye camp cataract patients. METHOD A retrospective case series of 5109 preoperative cataract patients. RESULTS Average axial length of 23.08 (SD 1.26). Average dioptre intraocular lens power 21.37 (3.04). CONCLUSION An increase in the intraocular lens power used at Nepalese eye camps from +21.0 to 22.5 dioptres would imp...

PURPOSE To demonstrate differences in human lens epithelial cell adhesion to different intraocular lens biomaterials in vitro and to determine whether these differences can be influenced by coating the intraocular lens surface with commercially available fibronectin. METHODS A prospective laboratory-based study comparing human lens epithelial cell adhesion to silicone (n=18), polymethylmethac...

A doublet intraocular lens optimized for both chromatic and monochromatic aberration correction in pseudophakic eyes is presented. Ray-tracing techniques were applied to design the lens in white light within a chromatic eye model. Combinations of two materials, already commonly used in intraocular lenses, as acrylic and silicone, were used. Iterative optimization algorithms were employed to cor...

In this paper we present a new kind of kinoform lenses in which the phase distribution is characterized by the "devil's staircase" function. The focusing properties of these fractal DOEs coined devil's lenses (DLs) are analytically studied and compared with conventional Fresnel kinoform lenses. It is shown that under monochromatic illumination a DL give rise a single fractal focus that axially ...
